| Potassium Sorbate: 2 ounces of sorbate is about 16 teaspoons. The density of K Sorbate varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Measurements will vary due to that factor. If the instructions call for grams per gallon, weigh it out and measure that dose for best accuracy. The weights in our containers will vary due to density. | ||||
